In the Artemis II mission, four astronauts will embark on a lunar journey to assess NASA’s core human deep space exploration capabilities, including the Space Launch System rocket and Orion spacecraft, for the first time with a crew on board.

NASA teams at the Michoud Assembly Facility in New Orleans have successfully integrated all five key structures of the Space Launch System rocket’s core stage for Artemis II. This first crewed Artemis mission will carry four astronauts around the Moon and back to Earth. On March 17, technicians connected the engine section to the remaining rocket stage. The next step involves integrating the four RS-25 engines to complete the stage.
Located at the bottom of the 212-foot-tall core stage, the engine section is the most complex and intricate part of the rocket stage, helping to power Artemis missions to the Moon. In addition to its miles of cabling and hundreds of sensors, the engine section is a crucial attachment point for the RS-25 engines and two solid rocket boosters that produce a combined 8.8 million pounds of thrust at liftoff.
We need the biggest rocket stage ever built for the bold missions in deep space that NASA’s Space Launch System rocket will give us the capability to achieve. This infographic sums up everything you need to know about the SLS core stage, the 212-foot-tall stage that serves as the backbone of the most powerful rocket in the world.
